Langwathby Stores & Post Office, Langwathby, Penrith, CA10 1LW

A rare opportunity to acquire a high performing convenience store and Post Office within an idyllic Cumbrian village, with potential to develop the large property above back into accommodation. This opportunity is expected to attract high levels of interest so we would recommend initial parties to get in touch as a matter of priority.

The business is situated in the heart of Langwathby, a highly desirable village situated just 5 miles Northeast of Penrith and on the outskirts of the Lake District. The village itself is well catered for with a range of amenities and facilities. There is a nursery, primary school, and a popular pub. The M6 is just a short 10-minute journey away as is the nearby A66. There is also a train station in the village. The village remains continually active with regular events taking place on the village green. There are also countryside walks from the doorstep with the Eden Valley fells a short distance away as well as the North Lakeland Fells.

The trading area features gondolas, purpose-built chillers, freezers units and shelving around the perimeter. The payment kiosk is to the left-hand side of the entrance with the Post Office section adjoining the tills. There have been draft plans created to extend retail space, but this has not gone to planning, allowing the incoming buyer to add value how they see fit.

All fixtures and fittings are to be included within the sale however, any items that are owned by a third party or personal to our clients will be exempt.

Externally, the property benefits from front street unregulated parking.

Previously above the store was a three-bedroom apartment which is now used as storage. There is excellent potential to convert this back into living space and to rent out as a holiday let, generating further income, subject to planning consent.

The vendors have owned the site for over 10 years and are now looking at a retirement sale. The business enjoys an unopposed position within the highly desirable and popular village of Langwathby, this profitable store is an ideal opportunity for operators looking for a lifestyle business and further benefits from extensive accommodation above that could be converted back into a three-bedroom apartment or a holiday let, generating a further income revenue.
